It has a 1,6 engine so basically it's not a Ti, it's a 1995 316i compact. The car was build in 1995 and imported from Germany in 2010 and now the clock is reading around 110.000miles. I'll post a few pics for you guys to see the entry level compact here, in Europe... | | | 10-20-2012, 07:12 PM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | As it's an old car, and due to bad romanian roads, I repaired the bodywork where needed | | | 10-20-2012, 07:16 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | The fender rusts easily in this area...just check out what I've found on the interior. This seems to be a common rust issue on E36s and E46s. | | | 10-20-2012, 07:19 PM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | More pics | | | 10-20-2012, 07:21 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | Here is where all the dirt from the road is being collected and rust begins | | | 10-20-2012, 07:26 PM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | Recently, when I went to straightening the alloy wheels (someone must have did donuts with the poor car previously) I noticed that the exterior shaft boot is cut | | | 10-20-2012, 07:28 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | In the parking lot | | | 10-20-2012, 07:30 PM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2012 Location: Romania Posts: 21 | Hope you like it.
